WAUSAU, Wis. (WSAW) - Some fantastic late spring weather on tap for the holiday weekend with a good deal of sunshine and afternoon temps rising into the 70s to near 80. The last time we had dry weather over Memorial Day Weekend in Wausau was back in 2009, 14 years ago.

The sunglasses, hat, and sunblock will be good to have if you’ll be spending quality time outside this weekend.
Plenty of sunshine on Saturday with afternoon readings reaching the mid to upper 70s.
Sunday is mostly sunny and pleasant with highs in the upper 70s. A bit warmer on Memorial Day with a partly cloudy sky. Highs around 80. Do keep in mind with the extended dry stretch of weather and warmer conditions, the fire danger will be elevated not only in North Central Wisconsin but a majority of the Badger State through the middle of the new week.
It is going to get warmer and a bit more humid as the new week goes on. A mix of sun and clouds on Tuesday with afternoon temps topping out in the mid 80s. Partly sunny Wednesday and Thursday with a chance of showers or storms. Highs in the mid to upper 80s. Mostly cloudy next Friday with scattered showers and storms possible. Highs in the low 80s.
Have a safe Memorial Day Weekend remembering our fallen soldiers who are no longer with us.
